Callistemon 'Woodlander's Hardy Red' | Woodlander's Hardy Red Bottlebrush

$0.00

DESCRIPTION
Callistemon 'Woodlander’s Hardy Red' produces dense, cylindrical red flower spikes in late spring to early summer, with a possible repeat bloom later in the season. Narrow, lance-shaped leaves are deep green with a slightly stiff texture, forming an upright, leafy framework that holds its shape year-round. The foliage releases a light aromatic scent when brushed, while the vivid flower spikes are composed of fine, brush-like stamens that attract bees and hummingbirds.

Originating from Australian species and selected for improved cold tolerance, this cultivar reflects adaptation to a wider range of garden conditions. It is well suited to borders, screening, and coastal plantings, where its evergreen structure and vibrant bloom provide lasting seasonal interest.
